New Victorian bracelet...

[GliderPoss]

Hey fellow PS'ers,

About 2 years ago I ordered a beautiful gold bangle from Etsy which unfortunately got lost on the re-directed mail from my Mum to UAE (apparently she didn't think to use tracking ) so I gave up on that one but always kept it in mind...

Last night I was idly perusing Etsy once more (don't lie - we all do it!) and spotted this beauty within my budget and a teeny enough size (6 inches) to fit my wrist. I received a small bonus this month thanks to a very kind award nomination from a colleague (who I also consider a friend) so felt it fitting to spend some of the money on this item.

"Victorian Gold-Filled Hinged Bangle, Engraved Ivy Vine Leaves, "From A Friend" Inscribed Gift, 1890's Bracelet"



I don't own many bangles or bracelets so it will be a significant addition to my collection. Apparently Ivy was a common theme of love and friendship in Victorian times. Very excited about receiving this What do you all think?

I love the carving.
And I am dying to know what the enigmatic 'from a friend' actually meant to the original owner, aren't you? If only our jewelry could talk!

I love the inside inscription and it's so meaningful since the award nomination came from a friend. You could also consider buying this as being a friend to yourself! Love the ivy too, so pretty.

This inscription makes it super special and a bit mysterious

Thanks everyone, yes the inscription is very special and definitely makes me wonder about it’s back story! Will post wrist shots once received.
